Huge easyEmu MAME Guide Update!

Hi All
I've just completed a complete revamp of the easyEmu site. As usual the MAME guide has had the most work. Here's whats new...
The whole site has a more "Arcadey" feel. Every page of the MAME Guide has been updated. All the graphics and screen grabs have been updated. There's been a lot of restructuring of pages. Any redundant information has been removed. All the site links have been checked and updated. All the information is up to date with MAME 0.143. Theres a new page on the HLSL effect. Theres a new guide for the IV/Play frontend. The compilation guide for MAME is up to date. The CLRMame Pro guide is up to date.
You'll probably need to check any links you have as there's been a lot of internal updates.
As usual any feedback is most welcome and any glaring errors too.
Regards
MrV2K

I did look at pinball simulators but couldn't decide on which one out of Visual PinMAME or Future Pinball.

Thanks for providing a clear, central place to answer questions for emulator users.
I had one comment about the style - it appears as though the link text is identical to the normal text (on Firefox 3.6 in Linux at least). This made finding some of the links a bit confusing.
An example - in the "Files you will need" subsection of "Compiling MAME" the sentence reads like this: "Click the link here to open the MAME Dev tools page."
But "here" isn't underlined, so I initially looked around a bit, then realized if i moused over the words in the sentence, I could find the link that way. Not the end of the world, but a little confusing.
Beyond that, it looks great! Andrew

I've been always admired to enthusiasts like Yourself and in this occasion, I want to say only this : Thank YOU ! P.S. What @drewcifer said, he is completely in place; You could use different colored font for links, but I am sure - You already knew that

OK Link colours updated. I agree it's far easier to navigate.

I like!
Would it be worth thinking about adding a link at the end of each section to the next section? That way you don't have to jump to the parent each time.

I think a Printer-friendly version would also be good, or a PDF version. Something where you can view each chapter all on one page, or the entire thing all on one page.
